Didn’t Lebron also average like 18 points against them in the NBA Finals? Chandler just won DPOY.

DPOY is a popularity contest.... as is MVP and all of the "All" Teams. No coincidence that a NY players get on those teams when they probably shouldn't. If you really believe that then you also believe that N.O. actually got the first pick in the draft in a fair lottery (that wasn't shown to the fans) and that they got the All Star game before Benson bought the team and hadn't announced it yet....

Chandler plays pretty good on ball and off ball defense.... he's one of the better ones at his position but not always the best. Bogut is fantastic at both as is Hibbert.... Once they get on a team in a large market they will get their due....

I'm not sure what the rest of your point is other than just responding to everything in a "know it all" fashion with little short quips that are supposed to be cute... Are you trying to say Chandler stopped both Kobe and LeBron?..... you do know what position Chandler plays don't you?....

Gasol to Minnesota for Beasley, Darko, and Ridnour. We re-sign Hill. They lose a player they likely won't retain, get rid of Darko, and get an elite PF. We get a borderline starter at PG, a starter or 6th man at the wing, and depth at PF/C. We shed a bit of salary in the process.

Depth wise it's nice, but Gasol is worth much more than that... I hope.

ridnour is definitely an upgrade over blake. his defense is nothing special but he has a nice offensive game with a good shooting touch. at this point almost anything would be better than blake anyways
